Some of you know me from my Gw2/Wow/Rift exploits. Well as you will see I do other games as well with reviews and commentary. This is just my review and outlook on things. Most of it will be spoilers so watch at your own risk.

cool of you to share this but what kinda bothers me right now is that an article about a freeshard UO (a real MMORPG) is getting locked so people cant discus a free-mmo but when it comes to FPS games they dont mind that post this???

Their FPS site promotion anyone?

It seems harder every day to actually speak your mind on this forums here at MMORPG.com

I don't understand the apparent fascination with watching other people play a game on the internet. I used to watch my brother play Nintendo, but that was because we only had one console, one TV, and one controller. I can also understand watching for solutions to challenges in games or studying someone's strategy in an online game, but the obsessions people have with live-streaming or posting on Youtube their entire single-player game experience makes no sense to me.

Could someone enlighten me as to why the OP feels anyone would want to watch his experience through games? Is the OP someone special or important and we should care more about this person's gaming experience than our own? I'm not trying to bash anyone; I really want to know why gaming is becoming less about experiencing your own adventure and more about seeing someone else's experience.

Because that is "Exactly what LP's" are bro. You watch share the experience provide entertainment. I mean if its not your think perhaps you shouldn't watch any. But hmm thiers about a billion of them on the net. So asking me why I do it is like asking the planet why it watches TV. The answer to that would be everyone is doing it you seemed to be left out.
